Why Jesus Said "Woman" To Mary | The Chosen vs Scripture

In this episode of Text n Truth, we examine The Chosen Season 1 Episode 5 and compare its portrayal of the Wedding at Cana with the biblical account found in John chapter 2. Did Jesus really respond to Mary the way the show portrays? Why does Scripture record Jesus saying, "Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come"? And what is the significance of Mary's faith in the miracle that followed? In this video we explore: • The Wedding at Cana • Jesus turning water into wine • The meaning of "my hour is not yet come" • Why Jesus addressed Mary as "woman" • Faith and miracles in Scripture • The timing of God versus human expectations • First-century Jewish wedding customs • Historical dining and banquet practices • Artistic license versus biblical accuracy We also discuss how small changes to dialogue can affect the meaning of a passage and whether The Chosen successfully captures the intention of Scripture in this episode. The goal is not merely to critique a television series, but to encourage Christians to return to the biblical text and carefully examine what Scripture actually says.
